Another shot of Dick Engelbrecht from his Mr South Africa win in 1967. Dick entered the Mr South Afica again in 1972 and came 2 nd. Shortly after that, the South African #federation introduced a ruling that you could not enter the Mr South Africa again after you had #won it a ruling that came into the US effect in 1942 after John Grimek won his second Mr America. This law is still in effect today in most #countries around the world. South Africa changed the ruling several years later. The second place winner in this photo is Chris Keyser who went on to win the title several times.
Dick continued to train for a long period until he had an accident a number of years ago whilst building his house, he fell from the second story and injured himself quite badly. Fortunately he's still mobile and relatively well.
These photos and information were supplied by Kevin McNamara South Africa's finest bodybuilder who won the title 10 times. Kevin trained with Dick for a while and is still in contact with him. He told me that Dick was very strong and trained #heavy . I will be featuring Kevin a long time family friend and former pupil of Reg in upcoming posts. #igbodybuilding#bodybulding#bodybuildingworld#naturalbodyboulding#bodybuildlife#bodybuildermotivation#bodybuildingprograms#bodybuildinglifestile#bodybuildingtransformation#bodybuildingworld#bodybuildingcoach#naturalbodybuildingmotivation
